This invention relates to the control and regulation of pain management. It is common knowledge that all human beings at sometime in their lifetime are afflicted with pain. Consequently, numerous forms of remedies have been proposed and suggested for external body surface use.

The present invention is a transdermal pain formulation. In particular, this inventive formula is designed, for convenience, to be used as a roll on for topical application, in and around the areas of pain.

It should be noted that this formulation could also be in viscous or liquid form, for application as a cream or liquid or spray.

This formula is designed to be used as a roll on for topical application. This inventive transdermal formulation assists to block both inflammatory processes and transmission of pain signals simultaneously. It is also designed to facilitate wound healing and trauma recovery.

These mechanisms include, but are not limited to and may find other applications.
